  • 60 ml espresso 2 shots; freshly brewed
  • 12 g light brown sugar about 1 tablespoon, packed
  • 0.125 teaspoon ground cinnamon plus a tiny optional dusting
  • 0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract for coffee base
  • 180 ml whole milk ¾ US cup; cold
  • 120 g ice about 1 cup; adjust to glass
  • 20 g plain full-fat cream cheese briefly softened for smooth mixing
  • 30 ml heavy cream 2 tablespoons; cold
  • 15 ml whole milk 1 tablespoon; for foam
  • 8 g powdered sugar about 1 tablespoon; sift if lumpy
  • 0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract for foam

Equipment

  • 1 Tall 450–500 ml glass
  • 1 Handheld milk frother
  • 1 Small narrow mixing jug
  • 1 Kitchen scale

Method
 

  1. Brew 60 ml espresso. Stir in 12 g brown sugar until dissolved, then add ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon and ¼ teaspoon vanilla. Cinnamon stays as fine particles rather than dissolving. Set aside briefly while preparing the foam.

  2. Mash 20 g briefly softened plain cream cheese with 8 g powdered sugar and 15 ml milk until smooth. Add 30 ml cold heavy cream and ¼ teaspoon vanilla. Froth in a narrow jug until aerated and thick but still pourable, usually 20–40 seconds. Do not whip to stiff peaks. Keep cold while finishing the drink.

Notes

This exact recipe has not yet been kitchen-tested by Tastewiser. Photos are AI-generated illustrations. Times and nutrition are estimates. Cinnamon disperses rather than dissolving. Smooth cream cheese with milk and sugar before adding cold cream; stop frothing while still pourable. Contains dairy. Refrigerate components at 40°F (4°C) or below; discard perishables left out over 2 hours, or over 1 hour above 90°F (32°C). Serve the assembled drink immediately.
